How are soundbars?? - Blu-ray Forum

newone · 11-26-2008, 02:28 PM

What are my alternatives to having a gigantic center channel (CS2) that is just too big. Its tough to find a stand to my liking that will fit the CS2 and I dont want something too long cause I have towers on each side of my stand? I'm now considering a sound bar but know nothing about them. Are they any good?

Negative, Ghost Rider. Not a good purchase for their price.

Unless space/aesthetics is a concern, but even then, chap, I wouldn't recommend them.

"Negative Ghost Rider the pattern is full."

Anyway, yeah I agree- not a good idea. Why not get a stand that has a mount built-in? There are lots of types to choose from aesthetically. Z-Line makes some solid, decently-priced ones as does Sanus (though they get more expensive).

It's funny, when I first got my CS2 I couldn't believe how huge it was. Now it almost seems small (in size). You could maybe go down to the CS1 for your 50's but you're not really gaining that much of a size difference. Find a better stand instead!

Crap.

DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER

Their sound quality is not too good, to put it nicely.

No. I looked up bar speaker and got that.

I just didn't want anyone to be offended or upset by posting the image.
